Sleeping Beauty

By Sarah Gibb

A beautifully illustrated, magical re-telling of one of the most beloved fairy tales.

A wicked fairy has cast an evil spell on baby Princess Rosebud: when she is sixteen, she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die. But perhaps a good fairy can save her, even if it means that Rosebud will sleep for 100 years?

A luxurious gift book for every child’s bookshelf.

Reviews for Sleeping Beauty

[comfypants · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A princess is cursed by an evil sorceress.Well, that was a huge surprise. I'd thought that by this point Disney had long since given up on the artistic angle and moved on to a more "kid friendly" humor-based appeal. Wrongity wrong wrong. One of the best movies visually, ever - right up there with The Third Man. I'm looking forward to re-watching 101 Dalmations (the next Disney movie chronologically) to see if it's anything like this. (But my hopes aren't high.)Concept: DStory: BCharacters: CDialog: CPacing: BCinematography: ASpecial effects/design: AActing: CMusic: AEnjoyment: AGPA: 2.9/4
